Two brothers, Paolo and Vittorio Taviani were a couple of talented Italian filmmakers. They had a number of good to great films to their credit. Although recognized as outstanding filmmakers they didn't exactly receive the kind of fawning recognition of a Fellini or De Sica.
Kaos is a film which consists of four short stories set in Sicily in the early 1900's. The films are based on stories from an Italian author, Luigi Pirandello. The films range from the tragic to the humorous and are made with a high degree of film making skill.
The titles of the films, The Other Son, Moonsickness, The Jar and Requiem are all tied together with an appearance of the author Pirandello at the end of the film.
Really to discuss this film would be a disservice to the excellent presentation of the stories and the Tavani Brothers. This is one of the better films I've seen in a while and would give it a very high viewing recommendation.
Written by the Taviani Brothers, the running time is188 minutes.
